Colón host surprise Acassuso in tough test at Brigadier López | OneFootball

Starting at 8 PM, Colón will host the leader Acassuso for the 5th round of the Primera Nacional zone, seeking another victory and, in the process, maintaining their unbeaten streak.

Colón will face a high-voltage challenge this Saturday at the Brigadier López Stadium when they host the leader Acassuso for the fifth round of the Primera Nacional. The match will begin at 8 PM, pitting one of the main contenders of zone A against the team leading the table.

The Sabalero will aim to return to winning ways after two matches without securing three points, while also aiming to maintain their unbeaten status in the tournament. They will face a rival in great form, having won all three of their matches and sitting at the top of the group.

For this match, coach Ezequiel Medrán is expected to make two changes compared to the last game. Conrado Ibarra is set to replace the injured Julián Marcioni. Additionally, another setback arose for the coaching staff during the preparations: Leandro Allende suffered a muscle tear when he had a concrete chance of being among the starters. Furthermore, Federico Lértora will make his debut as a starter, replacing Matías Muñoz. Despite this unforeseen issue, the core of the team is expected to remain largely unchanged.

Before the match, Medrán himself analyzed what it could mean to face the group leader. “Acassuso is doing very well, having won all three matches and maintaining consistency. They are a team that responds well, so it will be a good test for us,” expressed the Sabalero coach.
